' NoN-REF'ILLABLE BOTTLE.

Y To all whom'z't may concern: i 'I Be `1tknown that I,`J0SEPH`STUR1ALE, a subject .of the King of litaly, .and a resident of the city, county, and-State of N ew York, have invented a new'and Yuseful Non-Re-V fillable Bottle, of` which the following is a specification. l

My invention relates to improvements in nonreillable bottles, and has for its object to provide a container for liquids, of simple construction, with no complicated or expensive parts, which can be made at small cost and which cannot be refilled after the contents have been taken therefrom.

Many of the so-called min-refillable bottles can be reilled if they be submerged'in a liquid and manipulated so that the various parts are movedwith relation to their normal positions, but in my devicethe entrance to the container is always sealed wheneverv it is in a position whereby avliquid would ow inwardly by gravitation.

My invention is further described in the following specification 'and' illustrated in the drawings lannexed hereto.

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view. through vthe neck of a bottle containing my. device, the body of the bottle being broken away.

Fig. -2 is avertical sectional. View through the neck of a bottle sl'iowing my device in elevation. Y

Fig. 3 is a-view similar to Fig. 1 showing the bottle in a tiltedv position and with the various parts in the positions they assumel when liquid is being poured from the bottle.

Figs. 4, 5 and 6 are respectively, transverse sectional views taken on the line 444, 5 5 and 6--6 in'Fig. 1. y

As shown in the drawings, the bottleneck l 10, is provided with an annular shoulder 11 which forms a stop to receive the lower edge of the cylindrical member 12. This latter member 12 has a plurality of ribs 13 which forma guide for the cone shaped member 14 adapted to lit snugly inthe opening 16 of the lower portion 17 of the member 12, thus forming a water tight connectionvwhen the bottle is'in an upright position.v The member 12 is also provided with a head 18 which may be secured thereto by* threading or other similar means. This head 18 has a neck portion 19 provided with an opening 2O and a plurality of slots 21, the object of these slots being to maker it impossible .for the fiat end of the cone 'g Specification of Letters Patent.

shaped plug 14j to entirely prevent the-egress of'y liquid from the bottle whenv the latter is tilted.

. The valve 'member 22 consistsV of disk like" object" adapted to tit over .the fopenin'g 2O and heldin place when the bottle 'is not being poured "from by thel ball 23 which is iguided into position by the ribs 24 on the cylindrical casing 25 whichis secured Vat its lower end to the member 12.

lThe-upper part of my device consists of a plate 26, having a neck portion 27p with notches 28 at intervals to receive the ribs 24 on the casing 25.` The said plate 26 also has.v an opening 29 to permit the egress vof the liquid. `In the upper part ofthe neck of the bottle -is an offset portion 30 provided with a plurality of slots 31 in which the eX- tensions 32 of the plate 26 arekadapted to fit. I also show the usual form of cork 33 in the neck ofthe bottle.

As shown in Fig. 3, the bottle is in a tilted position and as may be seen therein, the parts inside the neck of thebottle assume positions which will permit the liquid contents of the bottle to emerge freely along the co-urse and in the direction indicated by the bottle, with thev exception, of the upper plate 26. When thus lassembled it may be inserted in the neck of the bott-le soy that the lower part 17 0f the.V member 12 rests on the shoulder` 11. The upper plate 26 may then vbe positioned, and as the slots 31 converge inwardlyV the plate 26 can be jammed into position, thereby locking all the other parts in their proper relative positions.

l also show in Fig. 4 another method of holding my device in the neck of the bottle, consisting of an annular'groove 33 in the .said neck into which the projections 32 of the plate 26 jmay be inserted through the` slots 31.A Then by giving the plate 26 a quartery turn the yprojections 32 will rest in the said groove33 so that itis locked against inward or Voutward movement.V

My device can be made of any suitable material such as porcelain or glass thereby avoiding the use of metal and keeping down the expense of manufacture, and thebottle or other container cannot be filled by emersion or by pressure, with my device,
